It shouldn't have to be this way. Many of us have bought figures we didn't want for BAF parts...how are the those doing this sort of thing better or worse (depending on your point of view) than us. Sorry, I'm in a soapboxy mood. Better step off before it's too late.

What drives me bananas about it lately is that in my area...these figures are getting harder and harder to come by the new waves, as many of my local stores went heavy with certain waves (like that Hobgoblin wave) and are having trouble getting rid of their older stock, causing the new stuff to either not be ordered, or to sit and languish in a warehouse.

If I was hunting, this A-hole would be killing my afternoons as well. Outside of scalpers at swap meets, I have only seen Mockingbird 1 or 2 times on the shelf, and the Giant Man wave figures only at this store thus far (which btw...has no Black Panthers or Nick Furys, as they have already been cherry-picked.) To top off that matter, the remaining figures in the wave, Guardian, Nuke, Cap and Iron Man, have all been picked of their BAF parts and are sitting in that box I took the photo of, causing me to think that the BAF parts were more than likely stolen by the same person who cherry picked the two most popular figures in the wave.

This is the reason I just get the figures by the case now, and sell off the less desirable, and pretty much have given up on the hunt.
